When you fight technology, you lose. Sure, you might win a few rounds. But it will always end in a knockout… with you on the mat. So, if you’re trying to trade without AI these days, you’re effectively fighting a losing battle. Because your competition on the other side of the trade is already using it. Here’s how to fix that.
Change is coming quickly. Cryptocurrencies are actually becoming useful. They’re starting to have legitimate real-world uses beyond naked speculation and ridiculous internet memes. As I wrote earlier this week in Freeport Navigator, Amazon and Walmart are looking to launch stablecoins, dollar-backed cryptos designed to be spent.
The GENIUS Act creates the legal framework to make this doable.
As computers grow more powerful and accessible, more investors are choosing to augment their instincts by tapping into cutting-edge tech. They’re using algorithmic portfolio management, predictive analytics, and advanced screeners among other tech tools. But none of them come close to the new AI-powered trading tool the TradeSmith team has developed. You can use it to pinpoint a stock’s “profit window” – the ideal timeframe to trade a stock on any given day. Here’s how it works…
What exactly are stablecoins? Why are the world’s two biggest retailers looking to launch them? And why do we care? Let’s get into it.

As we’ll explore in today’s Navigator, the days of costly, cumbersome bank wire transfers are numbered. And a newer, cheaper, sleeker way of sending and receiving funds is coming. Just don’t confuse stablecoins for “anti-dollar” cryptos such as Bitcoin. For all their potential usefulness, stablecoins have an inherent weakness that won’t go away.
Our past is littered with the corpses of companies that failed to adapt fast enough to technological change. With the speed at which technology is advancing today, how many more face extinction. And how can investors pick the survivors?
Uncertainty is like acid to the markets. And as volatility increases, certain sectors become vulnerable to overbought conditions. They may be overextended and poised for a potential mean reversion, which basically means they snap back up or down to something closer to their long-term trend.

While Buffett will no longer be the CEO of Berkshire, he’s staying on as Executive Chairman. I expect he’ll die at his desk, Cherry Coke next to him, an annual report of some company still clutched in his hand. Still, as he “slows down,” it’s as good a time as any to reflect on his achievements.
